It looks cheap. Johnny Test cheap.

What if Azula replaces Asami at the end of season 2 and no one notices?

1.Identify your problem.

2. Find the nearest male.

3. Approach him and have a good look at his crotch. Think about your problem and everything that makes you feel bad while staring at his crotch.

4. Now while thinking about your problem use your strongest leg and kick him in the crotch as hard…

Try it cunt. I’ll enjoy killing you.

Adria Richards is a complete fraud, has no business passing herself off as a programmer, and is an object lesson in why affirmative action and kowtowing to feminists are both monumentally stupid ideas.

This is exactly the reason I stay away from Fandoms on Tumblr. Are you guys serious? These are the guys who gave us Avatar the Last Airbender and Legend of Korra, which were both well thought out and PLANNED. So, before you all get pissed and crucify the storytellers because they didn’t implement…

Let me disabuse you of the notion that The Legend of Korra was, in any sense, planned. It was not. They had a big, showy, ending in mind, and some rough ideas for characters, but everything else was done in a lightning-quick hurry with no deliberation or thought or effort. It is one of the shallowest productions in modern history.

I’mma just throw some things up here to show you that even if it were a total work of ad hoc themes and concepts that they still achieved the following:
Annie Awards - Best Animated Television Production for ChildrenThe Legend of Korra (nominated)

Best Character Design in an Animated Television Production - Bryan KonietzkoJoaquim Dos Santos, Ryu Ki-Hyun, Kim Il Kwang and Kim Jin Sun (nominated)

IGN’s Best of 2012 Awards - Best TV SeriesThe Legend of Korra (nominated)

Best TV Animated Series (won)

IGN People’s Choice Award for Best TV Animated Series (won)

Best TV HeroJanet Varney (Korra(won)

I don’t know about you, but I would personally call this succeeding.

Not to mention that they pulled in the highest audience total for an animated series in the US.

They know what they’re doing, it’s their job to do it.

Yeah? My standards have nothing to do with sycophants giving them rewards or coasting into high ratings by exploiting the good memory of the original series they had almost no hand in making a success.

Wanna fill everyone in on how the original creators didn’t have a hand in making the original series a success?

They created the concept of Aang, originally as a ripoff of Castle in the Sky; then they also created Sokka and Katara after Nick thought their idea had merit and told them to rework it. They created Appa and Momo. After that, virtually everything people like or was high-quality in the series is the work of Eric Coleman, who came up with Zuko, or Aaron Ehasz, who created what we know as Toph, Azula, and Iroh after rescuing them from the staggeringly incompetent Bryke writing team.

The rest of the credit goes to the background designers and the Korean animation staff who actually designed all of the characters for the show.

Mike and Bryan are the 21st century George Lucas; they’re really good at accepting credit for work they didn’t do and were actually detrimental to while it was being done, and they don’t appear to have any qualms about exploiting the good will of the fans for cheap cash-grabs that retcon and tarnish everything that made the original property good.

They’re hacks and you have no reason to defend them.

For the record, I think I’ll personally decide who I have reason to defend.

Regardless of whether they’ve taken credit or not, I still trust them with what they are essentially pushing into the light. (as a producer’s job details) They’re still the owner’s of the property, they hired people to design FOR THEM, that’s what everyone you’ve described was paid to do. They are still the driving force for where the series goes. All parts of the original series were well done, not just the design aspects. as for Korra, I have my own gripes about it, but not a single gripe was about the story (Mine were about the awkwardly forced romances, but I can still forgive it, as the romance is sub-plot). To go back to the snarky attitude I made the original post about,

Tell me how your expertly written stories trump theirs in every way possible.

No thanks, I’ve had enough of snotty strawman-making Bryke apologists for one day.
